Abstract:

Following the terrorist attacks of November, the surge in support for the Front National in the regional elections provided for another shock wave in France. However, the broader economic repercussions of these events appear to have been limited. Stock markets were largely unmoved and as we had expected, sentiment decreased only slightly in November. As such, the economic recovery remains on track with still-elevated consumer confidence pointing to solid household spending in 2016, exporters set to benefit from the weak euro and long-standing weakness in investment expected to fade, supported by loose ECB monetary policy and higher capacity utilisation amongst firms. Overall therefore, GDP growth is still seen accelerating from 1.2% in 2015, 1.5% in 2016 and 1.7% further out. But risks to the outlook remain skewed to the downside and include disappointing progress on economic reforms, a hard landing for the Chinese economy and secular trends than could depress domestic demand more than expected.
